Technology Counts 2017, the 20th annual report on the status of ed tech in K-12 schools, reveals that over the last decade the "digital divide" in Americas public schools has shifted.

Technology Counts 2016 explores the challenges teachers encounter using technology in the classroom, including connectivity issues, computer malfunctions, and lack of training. Overwhelmingly, teachers rely on each other when deciding on which tech tools to use in their classrooms, according to exclusive survey results released in the report. Many tech companies also are looking to connect with teachers to pilot new products and to get teacher buy-in before the final product goes to market.
